BillsWatch Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 If the Senate approves the additional money, it's likely to lead automakers to increase production and bring back laid-off workers. Many automakers reported low inventories due to increased sales from the program at the end of July. Already Hyundai Motor Co. has added a day of production to its Montgomery, Ala., plant, and Ford is considering increases. Among states, Michigan has taken most advantage of the program, requesting more than $44 million in vehicle vouchers. California dealers had requested nearly $40 million in vouchers, and Ohio had sought nearly $38 million. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_cash_for_clunkers I am sure Ford & GM were fully marketed to employees & unions as way to get more work once inventory on lots was cleared out. Fellow Bills Backer working in import, un-unionized auto plant in south (I forget which state, Tennessee or Alabama) told me management was going around reminding about program and some got fliers on cars in corporate parking lot.
